Show HN: I built a minimal site to quickly check Excel formulas

1 coolpool 0 6/30/2025, 7:14:00 PM excelformulas.co ↗

I got tired of digging through bloated sites just to remember Excel formula syntax, so I built a clean, fast alternative: https://excelformulas.co

It’s a simple site where you can search for Excel functions and see their syntax alongside plain-language explanations. You can also browse common formulas by category to quickly find what you need.

I originally built it for myself, but figured others might find it useful too — especially anyone who uses Excel a lot and doesn’t want to wade through docs or YouTube tutorials every time.

Would love your feedback — especially if you spot bugs, UX annoyances, or have ideas to make it more helpful!
